The Mid-Week Link-Up (6-17-09)
The links that make our world go ’round this week. Each pops into a new window:
Books
- Seth Godin’s Textbook Rant. They are expensive. They don’t make change. And more…
- Schwarzenegger’s Push for Digital Textbooks. For Calif. high schools. Some are skeptical.
- 2020 Vision: What’s Next for News. We’re watching the newspaper industry for hints of where the book industry may soon follow.
Entrepreneurship
- Yes! 50 Scientifically Proven Ways to Be Persuasive. Quick run-down of the main points in the book by the same name. Fascinating.
- Venture Capital will not be our White Knight. Dr. Cornwall tells it like it is.
- Amazon Quietly Launches Product Ads; Secretly Wants to Become a Shopping Search Engine. What are they up to over there?
- Text and Banner Ads on Amazon: Has the World Gone Mad? A deeper look at how this works.
Technology
- Lifehacker’s Firefox Add-On Packs. If you’re not using Firefox Add-Ons, you’re missing 33% of the fun.
Just for Fun
- VIDEO: That Mitchell and Webb Look: Bronze Age Orientation Day. Why can’t all sketch shows be funny?
- How to Teach a Child to Argue. And why you would even want to!
- GAME: Crush the Castle. Knock down rickety castles with a trebuchet. LOVE this game.
I hope you enjoyed this first installment of our Mid-Week Link-Up. We’re considering making it a regular feature.
